Scott Allen, Jay Deragon, Margaret Orem and Tia Carr Williams have formed a collaborative organization called "Link to Your World" whose vision is to contribute to the edification, integrity and efficiency of the social networking space.

In this social networking space, there is the genesis of a new economy—The Relationship Economy.

Link to Your World is designed to address these rapid changes. It will identify the issues and solutions surrounding The Relationship Economy, develop all digital assets in the social media sector, and support, mentor, and enable individuals and entities to leverage the constant changes.
